but it's not about the internet lmao. "might not be as deeply personal" are we really gonna play it like this. what you were saying would make perfect sense if it wasn't for taemin's career trajectory, and at this point i just KNOW someone's going to assume this means i hate taemin when i'm talking about what kind of decisions management take...

if they're blocking him, it is pretty personal on at least the level that both general audiences and industry pros would like to work with him but it's not happening. and that's the only measure of "personal" that is relevant anyway.
